dwm Integration. #122

Closed smhmd closed 2 months ago

smhmd commented 5 years ago

I have a configured dwm with different colors, fonts, keybindings. logging in with ly is successful, but somehow it logs into vanilla dwm with all the defaults. this doesn't make sense. it is probably using the config.def.h somehow. I have .xinitrc opening dwm in a loop:

while true; do
        dwm 2> ~/.dwm.log
        dwm >/dev/null 2>&1
done

so, I typically just enter my user name, then password and startx in the shell. why would dwm load in with default settings?

I think this is related to #121. Maybe this will be fixed once we handle utmp.

nullgemm commented 4 years ago

Could you give it another shot now #121 is fixed?

smhmd commented 4 years ago

The problem persists, unfortunately.

Having the same issues with latest version

EgorDuplensky commented 4 years ago

Maybe i have found the root cause. I am in Arch and besides a custom dmenu build i have the default dmenu version installed (as a dependency to clipmenu). In this case dmenu_run is located in/usr/bin. Arch aliases /bin and /sbin to /usr/bin. So since ly uses /sbin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin default path, it finds the default version first, even /usr/local/bin stays before /usr/bin.

The solution is to flip path in config.ini: path = /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin

@aliveupstairs Could you check if you have the same root cause?

EgorDuplensky commented 4 years ago

Would it be worth to have a bit more complex logic behind default path? Like if /sbin and /bin are links, then put them to the end of PATH or even omit?

@FalyPr1nc3 trying ly after some time, there is now the ability to login to shell. I just run startx in ~/.profile if tty2. Since xinit does not work without additional parameters, I'm unable to run xinitrc option successfully (https://github.com/cylgom/ly/issues/181), so, I don't know if your solution is actually working since I'm not relying on ly to start X.

ly with dwm works on my end, feel free to address Faly's observations or close the issue.
